%CoIFFURES AND n HAIR PINS.
In the Illustration one figure illustrates the
right half rolled in one large curl, while on
the left, which has Il scarcely visible parting,
come a number of tiny curls. The back hair
is formed into a lightly twisted knot. The
couture, a In Maintenon, is made of silver
lace, dotted here and there with gems. For a
simple couture the whole of the hair, from
the roots to the ends, may be twisted into one
coil and then fastened up high over q diadem
or other ornament. Any ends remaining
after the coil is finished are taken back again
md fastened behind the left ear.
The fancy hair pins shown in the cut are
worthy of remark. The first one is made of gold
and has the coronet top, ornamented with
colored enamel. The second is also of gold
and is set with black pearls. The third pin is
ornamental with small diamonds OH the dark
tortoise shell half moon. The fourth models

Persons Perish While Making Pitiful Attempts
to Escape From the Fiery Furnace.
A horrible holocaust occurred at Hurley,
Wis, last Saturday the 9th inst. Shortly
before the performances began in the Alca-
zar theater fire was discovered in the
building, and the widest excitement pre-
vailed The structure was Of frame, and
before they could escape seventeen people
were burned to death. Their names, so
far as known, are:
Frank Young, Sadie McCabe, William
Jackson, j. w Van Quick, Samuel Haley,
Tillie Moore Mabel Goodrich, Sadie Wells,
Mrs. Fenton, Lowrie Brainerd, John Jar
ret, stage carpenter; fatally injured. Jen-
ME Sheridan; fatally lnIured.- siftsie POW
ers; seriously injured.
All OF the above except Jarrett, were
actors or actresses. Seven bodies in the
building are yet unidentified. The scene
was one OF the widest terror. The Alcazar
was a variety theater, chiefly frequented
by miners, and was one OF the resorts OF.
unsayory repute. associated with the no
torious dance houses OF tile mining regions.
The Alcazar was in the very heart Of the
city, and was mass OF flames within an
hour. The fire seemed to leap from build
ing to building until several blocks became
a roaring oven. 1t was not long before
Filth avenue was in flames.

of dis elimination in color and made of
patches from wOmen's dresses and under
skirts of every hue and erial-pitiful
reminders of the Spartan poverty and
courage that were still to fall of their
end. There are some exceptions, how
ever, in this store-room of battle trophies,
to these mementos of the sterner days of
the war for the South. The attendant
drew from rhe pigeon holes on the walls,
and unfolded for my inspection, three or
four magnificent banners of heavy silk
fringed with tassels of gold and orna-
mented with pictures in oil and rich en-
broiderings on field of blu e. These flags
represent the early and halcyon days of
the Lost Cause, when they were made by
local associations of ladies and presented
to the military organizations which car
ried them. One of those flags belonged
to the Appalachicola Guard, whose name
is stitched in gold letters on its folds
! above the eXultant notices: "In God is
Our Trustp' Our Rights We Will Main
tainl" The finest of them all is the ban
ner presented by the ladies of Norfolk to
the Norfolk Light Artillery" with an oil
portrait of Washington in the centre of
its field, the notices on the reverse side
being the same as those of the flag just
described. The days when the Confeder-
ate armies could afford such luxury in en-
signs quickly passed away, however, as is
evidenced by this collection, representing
every period of the war. In the begin
ming the rebellion the design of the flag
carried by the Southern regiments was
that of the Stars and Bars-two red stars
and one wbite-changing it at a later
period to a red field with the Southern
Cross, resembling the British Union Jack.
A study of the record kept by the War
Department of the name and capture of
each of these flags, though work of days;
would be of intense interest to the veter-
an soldiers. 1t would recall to him the
episodes of triumphs on half the fields of
the rebellion. The sight of the flags
themselves would do something more
quickening the heart-beats with memo
ries of the great fight. That not few of
these standards have been the centres of
personal encounter is evident from the
numerous blood-stains still traceab BILE up
on them. The slaves, also, are many of
them ragged with the gnaw of bullets,
the lead in some instances piercing their
centres and remaining imbedded in the
wood. Everything, in fact, in the ap-
pearance Of the whole collection, as it is
piled here in the narrow garret, faded and
soiled and tattered, shows that these are
no banners of holiday parade, but have
passed through the fire and extremity of |
actual war-the sorrowful weeds blasted |
